Anyone tried to replace the rear shock bushes?
Do I need any special tools?

haven't done it myself or even looked it up but can't imagine it would require much more than a bit of lube and a g-clamp

Couple of sockets (1 smaller to push the bush through & 1 larger to catch it) and a vice/g clamp/water pump pliers to push the old bush out. Or just cut it out since you're replacing but pushing it out should be easier. 

Installing just soak new bush In hot water, cover in washing up liquid or similar to act as lube & push in with the smaller socket if needed.

Thank You all!  Smile

After some hiccups, I placed an order for the bushes at https://www.micksbikeparts.com/ 
Cost me around £8, with shipping to Norway!  cheers Most other places wanted twice that just for shipping!  Rolling Eyes

I think I'll try to do the job with no special tools. Time will show if that's a good idea... tongue
